Oil-to-telecom behemoth Reliance Industries on Friday posted 3.85 per cent rise in profit at Rs 9,459 crore for the quarter ended June. It had posted a net profit of Rs 9,108 crore in the corresponding quarter last year. ETNow poll had predicted a profit of Rs 9,554 crore.

Consolidated revenue from operations increased 46.98 per cent year-on-year to Rs 1,33,069 crore against Rs 90,537 crore in the same period last year.

Gross refining margins (GRMs) stood at $10.5 per barrel as against $11.90 per barrel in the same quarter last year. The figure was at $11 per barrel in the sequential quarter ended March 2018.

Commenting on the results, Mukesh Ambani, Chairman and Managing Director, Reliance Industries Limited said: “Our petrochemicals business generated record EBITDA with strong volumes and an upswing in polyester chain margins. Refining business performance remained steady despite the seasonal weakness in cracks. Continuing strength in global demand for oil products and implementation of more stringent environmental norms for marine fuels augurs well for our refining business.”

June quarter revenue from refining and marketing segment increased by 42.9 per cent YoY to Rs 95,646 crore while segment EBIT declined 16.8 per cent YoY to Rs 5,315 crore. Lower crude throughput due to planned turnaround of one crude distillation unit and softer refining margins led to decline in segment EBIT on YoY basis.

R&M performance was also impacted by higher flat price and adverse movement in Brent-Dubai differentials on YoY basis.
